Full game is supposed to last between 8 and 12 depending on difficulty and player-skill.

I provided sources. I don't see the price difference, and I showed why.

If, in fact, there is a price difference as you claim, perhaps you could provide your own sources? Otherise I'll assume it's merely your perception, and not actually truth

You have a very condescending posting style, it's annoying.

As you need to be taken down a peg or two, here you go:

ShopTo - £28.85
Amazon - £29
Bee - £28.99
Tesco - £29
HMV - £29.91
Game - £29.99

All prices are for the standard PC version, as you can see these numbers are lower than £34.99 which is what the THQ store is charging.

No, that's you.

You could have posted this in the first place instead of being racist.

First of all, read your posts again and then tell me I'm the condescending one. Second of all, racist? Are you kidding me?

**Melissia**

Indeed. Instead of posting something that actually supported what you said, you instead instantly delivered an ad hominem against my nationality.

Now, if you're quite done being openly displaying your prejudices, shall we get back to Space Marine?

THQSledgehammer's quote on the Demo, formatted by me for ease of reading.

THQSledgehammer wrote:Attention Honour Guard: Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine Demo is headed to PC, Xbox 360 & PS3! The demo is planned to launch simultaneously for the Xbox 360 and Windows PC on August 23rd and then on PS3 on August 24th!

The Space Marine demo features two very different areas of the game. The first pits the player against an Ork horde outside the gates of a munitions factory. Armed with six devastating weapons, including the iconic bolter and lethal chainsword, the player will get to experience Space Marine’s seamless mix of melee and ranged combat first hand as they take on the rampaging invaders. The second area gives players a taste of the exhilarating Jump Pack sequences where the game’s hero—Captain Titus—takes to the skies to rain death from above.

The demo is planned to launch simultaneously for the Xbox 360®video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and Windows PC on 23rd August and then on PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system on 24th August.

Players who have pre-ordered the digital PC version of Space Marine through Steam will receive an exclusive early access period starting on the 18th of August, running through the weekend. Steam will also be running a Warhammer 40,000 bundle sale at a very special rate during the same period. Check out STEAM for more details.

Space Marine ‘Honour Guard’ community members will also get the chance to play the demo early on August 22nd, 24 hours prior to the public launch. For more information on how to sign up to get the demo visit http://www.spacemarine.com/user/register if your not alreay registered with the Honour Guard.

Space Marine Demo FAQ:

Q.) If I already Pre-ordered Space Marine from Steam will I be able to get early access?

A.) August 18th at roughly 10:01AM for customers who pre-ordered, August 22nd for users who are members of the Honour Guard & on August 23rd for the mass public.

Q.) Will the Demo be singleplayer only?
A.) Yes

Q.) Is the only way to gain access to the PC demo through Steam?
A.) Yes

Q.) If I signed up for the Honour Guard how do I gain access to the PC demo early?
A.) We will have a demo registration page where you will be able to obtain your early access code.

I think the Q&A was edited in later on, as that's newer to me.

THQSledgehammer wrote:The Demo should release globally on all platforms. The early access is for PC only and will open to users who pre-ordered first and then to members of the Honour Guard.

Access to the PC Demo will be thru Steam, We will have a landing page that will tie to your Honour Guard account here on SpaceMarine.com and you will recieve a code that can be redeemed. The page will go live on the 22nd when the exclusive is available for PC users.

You're an argumentative, know it all. If pointing out your ignorance makes me racist, then fine. It's not like my flag isn't shown, a normal person would have thought "Oh he's not from America, maybe the pricing system is different over there", instead you basically call me a liar and tell me I'm dreaming with your condescending use of italics thrown in for good measure. So far you've called me racist and prejudice without reason, what next? Am I homophobic? A member of the KKK? It seems you just randomly blurt out whatever you feel like so please, at least get creative!

I'm not sure you know what racism is considering none of his remarks were directed at your race.

Please don't spam the forum. Thanks, ~Manchu

**Manchu**

This thread is not veering off-topic but it is getting rather unpleasant. I would encourage everyone to take a moment away from the computer and come back to this thread, if at all, with a greater degree of civility. Thanks!

**daedalus-templarius**

A fancy new trailer appears!

**Phantom**

Thank you Daedalus for keeping the tread on track (Is this not the second time this tread began to derail?). Also,while I am

that there is not a multiplayer demo to try out the customization, I am still filled with joy that we even got a demo.

**daedalus-templarius**

Apparently, the demo is available NOW for steam pre-orders. (or tonite at some point)

Tuesday for all, Monday for members on the Spacemarine.com forums.

I might be sick on Monday...

**Melissia**

Yes, it should be available soon to Steam preorders. 22nd for SpaceMarine forum members, 23rd for everyone else.

**iproxtaco**

That's how Space Marines should always be represented (not on table-top of course). Nigh invincible Gods of battle. Their flaws are psychological and not physical. Physically, they're perfect.

Just to clarify, the day early access to the demo for forum members is only for the PC version. XBOX and PS3 demos don't have early access for forum members.

**daedalus-templarius**

New vid from Gamescom I think, some spoilers inside (although not that you didn't see coming)

And yes, the early access today is just for STEAM pre-orders, so only for PC.

Shumagorath acts like a completely different person on that site.

**daedalus-templarius**

I think its actually a different Shuma

**Melissia**

Lol, saw a video. It's very easy to die in Space Marine apparently.

I'm liking it already.

**mega_bassist**

Gah, I can't wait to leave work so I can look up videos

**daedalus-templarius**

I was worried about it being too easy before I saw these playthroughs.

Now I'm not.

**Anvildude**

That was a regular Boy, wasn't it? Takes that much to put a gud Ork down.

**Melissia**

It was an 'ard boy or scarboy, I think. Regular boyz don't wea that mask, but 'ard boys do.

**Cheesecat**

It's a nob because it's as tall as the marine.

**Melissia**

Dosen't look like the nobs I've seen in videos.

But i DOES look like the 'ard boy screenshot I've seen.

**Anvildude**

I think the Shooty Nobz are actually sup'sd ta be Flash Gitz.

But your character towers over the boyz, but he doesn't with that ork.
